Pause frame counters do not increment when pause frames are sent on the EX2300, EX3400, EX4300-48MP, and EX4300 line of switches. PR1580560
-
In an interoperable scenario, when using 1G SFP optic on PIC-2, you must disable auto-negotiation on the peer. PR1657766
-
On the EX4600 device with SFP-LX10/SFP-SX, after a power cycle or software reboot, all ports are initialized and links are up when you enable auto-negotiation. Few ports are up and traffic flows whereas few ports are up but no traffic flow through them.PR1672583
-
If MVRP is enabled on an MSTP enabled interface, the interface will be made part of all the existing instances on the switch. If there are two interfaces between R1 and R2 as below: R1(et-0/0/1 and et-0/0/2)======(et-0/0/1 and et-0/0/2)R2. And one interface is MVRP enabled (say et-0/0/1), and et-0/0/2 is not MVRP enabled. By configuration et-0/0/1 is part of MSTI-1 and et-0/0/2 is part of MSTI-2. MSTI-1 is running on vlan-100 and MSTI-2 is running on Vlan-200. R2 in this case, is advertising only vlan-100. The MVRP enabled interface will become part of all the MSTIs (MSTI-1 and MSTI-2 both) configured on the device and it will take part in the FSM of all the MSTIs. Although et-0/0/1 is not member interface of vlan-200 (correspnding to MSTI-2). This potentially can cause a problem where et-0/0/1 although not a vlan-200 member, will go into FWD state and et-0/0/2, genuine member of vlan-200 goes into BLK state for MSTI-2. When traffic is received in vlan-200 it will be sent out of et-0/0/1, an it will be dropped.PR1686596
-
When you enable port beacon LED for the port,
show chassis led
statement output shows incorrect port LED status for the interfaces as lit up instead of off. PR1697678 -
EX4600 with redundant trunk group (RTG) configured, after VCP port between members of EX4600 disconnect and connect again. MAC address entry created in RTG cannot ageout. PR1707878
-
When high number of MACsec sessions present (more than 200) and traffic is passed over these interface, some of the MACsec session flap and there is traffic drop.PR1709431
-
On Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved platforms, the dcpfe(Dense Concentrator Packet Forwarding Engine) process crash will be observed due to memory fragmentation issue. This is a rare case and would impact traffic as due to dcpfe failure the Packet Forwarding Engine restarts, so the interfaces will flap.PR1711860
-
On EX4650 and QFX5120-Y, the 10G interfaces are not coming up simultaneously when different Small Form-factor Pluggable(SFPs - 10G and 1G) are plugged in within the same 4 port group. Normally 10G interface by itself will be up when set to 1G if no other SFP is plugged in.PR1714833
-
This is a Broadcom limitation and Day 1 issue affecting broadcom chipsets such as EX4650's, QFX5ks, EX4300. One VLAN can be mapped to only on ERPS ring. For example, VLAN 100 can be mapped to only one ERPS ring. This same VLAN 100 cannot be part of another ERPS ring on the same switch.PR1732885

Layer 2 Features
-
The memory might leak because of the eswd daemon on the EX Series platforms. A message like the following is displayed in the system log: eswd[1330]: JTASK_OS_MEMHIGH: Using 212353 KB of memory, 158 percent of available /kernel: KERNEL_MEMORY_CRITICAL: System low on free memory, notifying init (#2). /kernel: Process (1254,eswd) has exceeded 85% of RLIMIT_DATA: used 114700 KB Max 131072 KB. PR1262563
MPLS
-
On Junos OS QFX5100 and EX4600 platforms in Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN) scenarios, when an access port flaps or the port related configuration is deactivated and activated, the traffic ingressing or egressing out of that port gets dropped.PR1775553
Platform and Infrastructure
-
In mixed mode virtual Chassis (vc) when the 10G DAC is used as a Virtual Chassis Port (VCP) between Junos QFX5100 and EX4300 VC, the 10G DAC VCP will not come up after rebooting EX4300.PR1665250
-
On EX4300 platform, if you configure
encapsulation ethernet-bridge
statement, the interface is getting programmed as trunk instead of access in VLAN membership. This leads to untagged traffic drop. PR1665785 -
On EX4300-24T, EX4300-48P, EX4300-VC, EX430024P, EX430032F and EX430048T platforms, when a VSTP (VLAN Spanning Tree Protocol) BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Unit) arrives with a VLAN ID that is not configured in the switch, but that matches with an HW Token of any other configured VLAN, the VLAN ID of the BPDU will be changed to the VLAN ID corresponding to the matched HW Token and flooded. This disrupts STP convergence on the configured VLAN because some ports can incorrectly go into blocking state. PR1673000
-
On Junos OS EX4300 and EX4300-VC platforms, if zeroize or interface configuration deletion performed, PFEX process crash will se seen when interface/device comes up and there will be traffic loss during the PFE restart.PR1714117
-
In a rare scenario, due to timing issues, the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) crash is observed on Junos OS EX4300 platforms. This causes traffic loss until the PFE comes up.PR1720219
-
On Junos EX4300-24T/24P when the native CVLAN (Customer Virtual Local Area Network) ID is configured for Q-in-Q setup, the traffic for that particular VLAN gets dropped even if the knob "input-native-vlan-push" is configured. This issue is encountered when the when inner-tag matches 'native-vlan-id' irrespective of the outer tag.PR1722284
-
On EX4300-VC, the Online Insertion and Removal (OIR) of Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) may result in a PFE crash under near-zero idle CPU conditions.PR1733339
-
On EX4300MP-EX4300 mixed VC setup, "show system software sets" command shows 'Pending set' software version even after rebooting.PR1738406
-
On EX4300 VC setup, "qsfp_tk_read_mem_page: Rear QSFP+ PIC failed to select addr 127 err 1000" messages may be seen intermittently. There is no functionality impact for these error messagesPR1747126
-
After an upgrade, the SFP modules are not detected in case of EX4300 platforms and the ports remain down impacting traffic.PR1747374
-
On EX4300, "Error requesting CMTFPC SET INTEGER" and "Error requesting SET BOOLEAN" logs may be seen after device boot up. There is no functional impact for the error messagesPR1749289
-
On all EX4300 platforms, traffic is sent on an AE interface and sent to the removed child interface from AE (Aggregated Ethernet) where the traffic is lost.PR1749406
-
On EX Series switches, if 40G DAC(Direct Attach Copper) cables with PN(Part Number) 740-038624 (QSFP+-40G-CU3M) and 740-044512 (QSFP+-40G-CU50CM) are used, links might not come up after software upgrade to Junos 21.4R3-S3 or after a switch reboot (if the switch is running Junos 21.4R3-S3). The switch ports that use these DAC cables are observed to go down after a reboot.PR1752611
Routing Protocols
-
On all Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved platforms, whenever a commit is done, that involves mcsnoopd daemon config parsing such as (VLAN creation/deletion, interface add/delete to VLAN, interface enable/disable, IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) snooping/MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery) snooping related configuration commands) mcsnoopd will consume CPU. In less scaled setup (few IGMP snooping enabled VLANs and few hundred IGMP snooping memberships), the CPU time taken is less. In a more scaled setup (many IGMP snooping-enabled VLANs and a few thousand IGMP snooping memberships), the CPU may reach greater than 90 percent. Since mcsnoopd is taking high CPU, it may affect other daemons like rpd. It may affect all the protocols if the CPU is not available to the protocols/daemons. This can impact route entries expiring and cause traffic drop.PR1710565
Virtual Chassis
-
On Junos EX4600 Virtual Chassis (VC), the primary Routing Engine reboot and all-members reboot lead to the Packet Forwarding Engine manager hogging logs when SFP-T pluggable is installed in. The Packet Forwarding Engine manager hogging logs has no functionality impact. PR1685067
-
On EX4600-VC, when you execute the
request system reboot all members
statement, post-reboot one of the Virtual Chassis member or Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) might disconnect and join the Virtual Chassis back due to Packet Forwarding Engine restart. Traffic loss is seen when FPC disconnects. PR1700133
